THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A BALANCE BOARD ON VESTIBULAR FUNCTION IN KIDS WITH SENSORY INTEGRATION PROBLEMS
Introduction
Three sources of sensory information are used by the nervous system in the maintenance of equilibrium. These are the eyes, proprioceptive endings throughout the body and the vestibular portion of the internal ear.
In the development of the human body functions, the vestibular system is one of the first of the sensory integrative systems to be fully functional. The complete integration of the other sensory systems like vision and proprioception are continued throughout childhood through some activities that facilitate active use of the other systems, such as being carried upright to increase the visual pursuit of the child. It can be said that the vestibular system is the basic platform and organization body on which all sensory systems can rely upon as a foundation on which to grow and develop on.
According to Jean Ayers in her book, Sensory integration and the child, it explains. “The vestibular system is the unifying system. It forms the basic relationship of a person to gravity and to the physical world. All other parts of sensation are processed in reference to this basic vestibular information. The activity in the vestibular system provides a framework for the other aspects of our experience. Vestibular input seems to prime the entire nervous system to function effectively. When the vestibular system does not function in a consistent and accurate way, the interpretations of other sensations will be inconsistent and inaccurate, and the nervous system will
